Click on it and look at the drop-down menu. Click on the word ‘source’, and what you see is the HTML code that generates the page you are viewing.

Now that you know what HTML looks like, forget it, you don’t have to know anything about HTML to build web pages.

  Radio Frequency Identification Device - RFID
  Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is the utilization of radio waves to recognize the objects. Unlike barcode, in RFID one can find a product without virtually coming in touch with it. The tracking number is stored in a micro-chip, which is connected to the aerial. The chip is then enables to put on the air any tracking data to the receiver. Finally the information will be converted into a digital format, which is read by the computers.A usual RFID tag holds a microchip attached to an aerial escalated on a substrate. The data storage capacity of a chip rang
  Today we want to talk about your website. Most, but not all, direct marketers sell from their websites. If you are one of the few who don’t, I think you still should have a website so people can communicate with you easily and to establish a presence – you as a brand.

  (There are a few people out there who make a very good living in direct marketing without a website, but these are the exceptions. If you model your business after these folks, you may ignore this article.)

  Your website
  With apologies in advance, we are going to have to get just a bit technical to discuss your website. I promise you it won’t be too scary.

  Your website, your web pages are located on a bit of hardware called a ‘server’, and this server is operated – managed - by some people we call a ‘host’. There are many hosts around you may choose from (we shall talk about this in more detail in Article Sixteen).

  Think of it this way: If you like to write, you spend a great deal of time in front of your PC writing whatever it is you write using Microsoft Word. Word is application software that sits on your computer and is available whenever you click on its icon and open it to use.

  After you have written something, you save it as a file to your hard drive. You can then open it anytime you want either to edit it or simply read it using Microsoft Word as your application software.

  Think of a server as a hard drive that sits in a building anywhere in the world, and is connected to your PC by your telephone line – your Internet connection. Then think of all the servers in the world as being connected to each other, again by telephone lines. Your web page is stored on your chosen host’s server just as your Word document is stored on your hard drive.

  In exactly the same way you open Microsoft Word application software then open a Word document when you want to work on it – when you want to edit something you have written, you can ‘open’ a web page that is sitting on any server anywhere in the world. You do this by connecting to the Internet then opening the web page you want using the familiar www.anyname.com address.

  The application software that makes this work sits on your PC and is called your ‘browser’. Everybody else connected to the Internet can view every web page in exactly the same way.

  There is one important difference between your hard drive and a server, however. While you can edit your Word document on your PC, you cannot ‘edit’ web pages you view on the Internet – you can only read them.

  (This is a simplification: you can, in fact, edit some web pages sometimes. You do this, for example, when you input your credit card details to order something. We shall discuss this complication in more detail in Article Eighteen.)

  To make this amazing system work, and work as well as it does, users have decided to work with a standard programming language called HTML (don’t worry about what these letters mean).

  Do this: connect to the Internet then open any web page that comes to mind. In the toolbar at the top of your browser to the left you will see the word ‘view’. Click on it and look at the drop-down menu. Click on the word ‘source’, and what you see is the HTML code that generates the page you are viewing.

    One Product - Service - Client Does NOT Make A Business
    Recently a new client came to me in total frustration. She had been working with another coach who had insisted she focus on offering, and aggressively marketing, only one service. Now she was out of energy, out of money, and couldn't understand why she was failing. A great salesperson in her previous work, she was struggling to sell enough of this one service to support herself.This talented and skilled professional was on a slippery slope to a failed business.

      Career Planning: Great Job But Can't Afford to Move
      Q. I live in a wonderful house in the Midwest. Recently a recruiter asked if I would consider a new job with a move to Southern California. The salary would be higher but the cost of living -- ouch! Should I go on the interview?A. Let's do the easy part first. I almost always recommend going on the interview. Of course, do not jeopardize your current job or current clients.But you have little to lose. Occasionally you will be considered for other jobs in the company. You may be able to negotiate a telecommute option. Your interviewer may know of other o

          Checking in with Hotel Job Opportunities
          You should look for hotel job opportunities if you are interested in working in the hospitality industry. You can easily find something in your area because there are hotels everywhere. You can do many different jobs in a hotel, and you have to be flexible to do them effectively. Hotels need workers at all hours and on all days of the week because they never close.

          • A domain name
            You will have to choose and register one of these.
          • Webpage building software – sometimes called an ‘HTML editor’
